Our mission

We work for you.

We started this company to provide a flexible product sourcing service that we would have killed for a few years back. Back then, we were either traveling backwards and forwards to China with the latest problem running through our heads, or feeling powerless and uninformed at the hands of a middleman using the physical distance to his advantage. Our aim is to provide a service that allows our customers to be able to source and import goods from China in a way that is cost effective, under their control and above all else, transparent and open.

Frequently asked questions

Can’t I just use alibaba or another sourcing site to find suppliers?

From personal experience we know that many of the suppliers on Alibaba are pretending to be manufacturers when in fact they are import export companies looking to take a cut in the middle between your business and the actual manufacturer. We speak Chinese and communicate with suppliers in Chinese. Communicating with suppliers in English often leads to "misunderstandings" and difficulties in discussing specification, quality and other metrics such as the markets that they are currently selling into. 99% of the time, the supplier’s English speaking employee who’s job it is to communicate with foreign businesses has been hired because they can speak English, not because of their knowledge of the product that is being manufactured. To keep costs down, the people hired for these positions are often junior in the company and aren’t allowed to make important decisions with regards to sales and pricing. If there is a technical question that they aren’t sure about, it’s not uncommon for them just to guess and then later blame the resulting issues on a communication or translation problem. We can find and talk directly to the right person in the company.

Why can’t I just hire a translator?

People that advertise themselves as translators are often “stealth middlemen” and get a cut behind your back on every item that you order without you knowing about it.

We want to find a manufacturer for a new product that we have designed by ourselves, is this something that you can do?

Yes, we can anonymoulsy search for the best fit manufacturers for your project. We have a method for finding manufacturers that are capable of making the product to your requirements and quality standards whilst at the same time protecting your intellectual property rights.

Can you help us with samples from manufacturers?

Yes, one of the most important steps of importing from China is to get samples of the products that you want to buy.
